This new edition of perhaps the best-loved of all journals is based
on a fresh examination of the original manuscripts. There is an
enormously expanded commentary full of new information on every
aspect of the people, places and books mentioned. The journal is
intimately and vividly written and still a compelling read. Dorothy
Wordsworth began it in 1800 to give her poet-brother pleasure, and
for three years she noted the walks and weathers, the friends, the
country neighbours, the beggars on the Grasmere roads. The Journal
has many stories: of Wordsworth's marriage, of the concern the
Wordsworths felt for Coleridge, and of the composition of poetry.
It is an excellent source of information about Wordsworth, his
circle and methods of writing. This new edition yields new readings
of mis-read or undeciphered words, and restores Dorothy's hasty
punctuation. It brings us closer to her as a writer than ever
before: her first thoughts, her crossings-out, her after-thoughts,
the hurried flow of her expression.
